Naracoorte selfie walls take shape

Work has finished on the first of two selfie walls in the Naracoorte Town Centre, and we absolutely love it!

Adelaide Hills artist Taylor Summers (pictured above) put the finishing touches to the first selfie wall last week in the 55 Ormerod Street outdoor children’s play space (pictured below).

The vibrant, contemporary, stylised cave mural brings the incredible natural phenomenon of the World Heritage listed Naracoorte Caves to the surface and reminds locals and visitors alike of the wonder that sits beneath the ground in our own backyard.

Fossils and skulls of megafauna can be found in the artwork, which creates a great photo opportunity for people, especially children, to interact with the artwork, peering into the cave, discovering bones of creatures from the past.

Take a selfie with the artwork and tag #naracoorteart in the post. Council hopes to build quite a following of the public art with this social media tag, and look forward to seeing snaps of the area from people from near and far.

The second selfie wall for our town centre is taking shape on the side of the Sound Shell in the Town Square and could well be finished this week. It will capture our community’s close relationship with the land – and stay tuned for the emergence of a curious sheep in this artwork.

The selfie walls project – with a budget of $4000 – aims to further activate the town centre as part of the Naracoorte Town Centre Rejuvenation Plan.
